There's a Small Chance I'm Being Scammed

(And Jen hopes I am for the content.)

Okay, there’s a small chance I’m being scammed out of $3,400. And by small, I mean somewhere between “maybe” and “why did you give a random guy who texted you your social security number?” But listen, I pride myself on having fantastic scam radar, and I did some homework here. The problem is that I’m caught up in a deal that feels way too good to be true, and it’s making my spidey senses tingle. Let me explain.

I don’t currently have a car. I usually lease, but I returned my last car in February and decided to hold off getting a new one. At first, I was waiting for a new electric Volvo to come out in September (spoiler: it got delayed). Then, being carless in LA turned into a weird personal challenge. How long could I survive without a car in a city that practically requires one? Turns out, ten months.
